I would agree with most. And congratulations on being born into a family with means compared to many.
However, I think a person who makes $25K per year is less likely to be able to pay the same tax as someone making $25 million. Although wealthier people do consume a large portion of resources. Why else would a rich neighborhood get faster response time from police/fire than poor neighborhoods?
Everyone does pay the same for college, but some people can get aid or loans if they don't have any money. Why wouldn't you agree with that?
It would be great if everyone could pay the same for healthcare, but insurance companies charge more to people with pre-existing conditions and again, poor people can't afford the same quality of care as rich.
I think welfare recipients should absolutely be held accountable for getting aid (ie. drug/alcohol tests) and if they don't have a job, should at the very least work in daycares, clean up parks, work in libraries, etc. in exchange for their aid.
It is so hard for me to understand WHY you can't provide aid to the less priviledged? Yes, in some cases, there is abuse to this aid, but not all. Why are you so selfish? Most often, people are a product of circumstance, not choice. Government aid can help people along. I come from a military family who couldn't afford to put me through college, so I took out loans. Because your family has wealth, you don't have to pay for the loans like I do.
So, even having the same education and often the same job as I do, you would be ahead, just because your family could afford to pay for your college.
Sucks for me, huh?

I agree with Lame Duc... This seems an awful lot like communism.
But.
Same income tax rate for all-
A flat tax of 10% on all income, goods and services, with no exceptions, write-offs, or subsidies for anyone or anything sounds good to me.
Everyone pays same for college-
OK, no scholarships for anyone, and tuition will decrease.
No quotas-
OK
Everyone pays same for health care -
OK, Rates will go down.
Welfare recipients’ and homeless should help their community in exchange for food and clothes-
OK, but there would be less welfare following the above new rules.
Everyone pays the same for everything -
Will already be happening following the above new rules

I agree with all the above statements if you will agree to these,
no corporate welfare
corporations that want the same rights as individuals pay the same tax as individuals and are forbidden to hide their assets in foreign banks to avoid tax
No guest worker program, take care of U.S. citizens first.
Monopolies allowed so that economies of scale can be implemented
No Foreign Corporations allowed to do business in the US without hiring US workers and being headquartered in US.
These are just as silly as yours

Liberals are not now and have never been for equality.
1. They support class even by demonizing the rich, they seek to punish the wealthy by redistibuting the wealth (How Carl Marxish)
2. They support affirmative action which in effect dumbs down the work force
3. They want all civilians to be disarmed and yet they expect us to pay for their armed body guards
4. Workfare instead of Welfare they equate that to slavery
I could go on but we know the liberals will either deny or justify the above facts

nicely right here is your label st&^^ because of the fact how can someone that make's over 550,000.00 money a twelve months and above get someone that make's 80,000.00 money and below a twelve months to believe their political polices ? basically via asserting off the wall stuff to them, like there attempting to take over, dying panels, giving to welfare, and twisting each component which will help the decrease earnings person stay alittle extra extra advantageous existence, i actually do no longer think of that 3% from 500,000.00 money a twelve months earnings would be mist via anybody basically take a seem on the existence of the wealthy and nicely-accepted on television, or MTV crips or how did you get so wealthy or how plenty does a CEO get in bonuses each twelve months.

A progressive tax limits the powers of the large corporations from taking over the people.

flat tax is not equal,
because the poor wind up paying too much and the ultra rich pay far too little.
How is that equal?
College should be affordable for all,
healthcare should not be capitalized like a mafia legalized shake down,
and 60% of the people on welfare are CHILDREN and babies,
most homeless people are mentally unstable,
Thanks for being so understanding.

Just goes to show the two faced nature of liberals.
Let's elect hillary and let another clinton make a joke out of the whitehouse.
